Onboarding new hires

An AI onboarding assistant that already knows the company.

GATE's AI onboarding assistant is your company's own agent, ready for a new hire the day an owner invites them. A short setup chat asks four things about the person: their role, their week, what they would hand off and how they like to work, and never what the company does. Then the agent says hello, answers from your company files and memory, and can check in every morning at 9 and put their first tasks on the board.

Welcome, Anna! I'm your company's agent. You run the support desk on weekday mornings and like short answers, right?
Yes! Where do I find the refund rules?
In the support handbook in your company files, section 3. Short version: 30 days, no questions asked.
And who approves the big ones?
Jonas does. Want me to check in with you every morning at 9 this week?
Yes pleaseNot needed
How it works

How does GATE onboard a new hire?

No folder of PDFs and no list of people to interrupt. The new hire gets a guide that already knows the company, and soon knows them too.

01

An owner invites them

An owner of your GATE account invites the new hire from the dashboard, or by asking your agent in the chat, and picks what they get: the agents you already have, or an agent of their own. The signup link in the invite email does not expire.

02

A short setup chat about them

GATE's setup guide asks four things: their role, what their week is made of, what they'd rather hand off and how they like to work. It never asks what the company does, because that's already on file.

03

A hello from your agent

They connect the tools they work in, a step they can skip, and land in a chat with your company's agent. Its first message already uses what the setup chat learned and offers three or four things to start on, as buttons.

04

They ask anything

Where's this, who owns that, how do we do it here. The agent answers from your company files and memory, in GATE on a laptop, in the GATE app on iPhone or iPad, or in Slack if it's in your channels.

05

Through the first weeks

Ask your agent to check in with them every morning at 9, or to put their first tasks on the board with checklist items, and it sets that up in their chat.

Who can invite a new hire into GATE?

Invites follow the same rules whoever asks for them, a person in the dashboard or your agent in the chat.

Rules every invite follows

Enforced by GATE, not left to your agent.

Only an owner of your GATE account can invite
A person asks for every invite, never a schedule
Invites only go into your own company
New people join as members unless you say owner
Nobody finishes setup without an agent to talk to

What does a new hire get from GATE's agent?

The same agent your team already uses, pointed at someone new.

Company knowledge

Your files and memory

Handbooks, policies, price lists and past decisions, searched by meaning, so the answers come from your own documents.

About them

It knows who it's talking to

Their role, their week and how they like to work are saved from the setup chat, and the language they write in goes with every message they send in GATE.

Anywhere

Laptop, iPhone or Slack

The same chat in GATE on a laptop and in the GATE app on iPhone or iPad, and in Slack if your agent is in your channels.

Check-ins

A nudge each morning

Your agent can schedule a check-in in their chat, such as every morning at 9, and ask what they need.

First tasks

A checklist on the board

Their first tasks go on GATE's task board, assigned to them with checklist items, so everyone can see how far they've come.

Paperwork

The contract, signed

Swedish companies can draft the employment contract from GATE's template and send it with GATE Sign, signed through an emailed link and a six-digit code.

GATE's onboarding agent, a folder and a buddy, or an onboarding checklist tool?

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is an AI onboarding assistant?

An AI onboarding assistant is an AI that helps a new hire get up to speed: it answers their questions, points them to the right documents and people, and checks in through the first weeks. In GATE it is the company's own agent, which already knows the business from the company's files and memory and learns about the new hire in a short setup chat when they sign up.

Is an AI onboarding agent the same as an onboarding chatbot?

Not quite. An onboarding chatbot usually answers from questions and answers somebody wrote in advance. GATE's onboarding agent answers from the company's files and memory, searched by meaning, knows the new hire's role and how they like to work from the setup chat, and does work too: it schedules check-ins in their chat, puts their first tasks on the board and can send the employment contract for signing.

What does GATE's setup chat ask a new hire?

Four things, in two or three light exchanges: the new hire's role, what their week is mostly made of, what they would rather hand off, and anything the agents should know about how they work, such as how they like to be reached. GATE's setup guide never asks what the company does, sells or uses, because that was answered when the company joined GATE and is already on file.

Does GATE's onboarding agent know our company?

Yes. GATE's agent answers from the company's files in GATE, such as handbooks, policies and price lists, searched by meaning, and from what the company's agents have saved to memory about how the business works. Every agent in the company reads the same company files and company memory, so a new hire gets the same answer from GATE that the rest of the team gets.

Where does a new hire talk to GATE's agent?

In GATE on a laptop, in the GATE app on iPhone or iPad, and in Slack in the channels and DMs the company has connected to the agent. It is the same agent with the same memory everywhere. The language the new hire writes in during setup is saved on their profile and travels with every message they send in GATE, so GATE's agent knows which language to answer in.

Can GATE's agent check in with a new hire and set first tasks?

Yes, when someone asks. GATE's agent can schedule a check-in in the new hire's chat, such as every morning at 9, and put their first tasks on GATE's task board, assigned to them with checklist items, so the team can see how far they have come. Nothing like this starts by itself: an owner or the new hire asks the agent, and the agent sets it up.

Can GATE handle the employment contract for a Swedish company?

Yes. GATE's agent drafts the employment contract from GATE's Swedish Anställningsavtal template and hands it to GATE Sign as a draft; once it is sent, the new hire signs through an emailed link and a six-digit code. Swedish law (LAS 6 c §) asks an employer to give the main terms in writing no later than the seventh calendar day after work starts. GATE gives no legal advice and does not run payroll.

What does GATE's onboarding not do?

GATE does not connect to an HR system, run payroll or file anything with the authorities, and it has no ready-made onboarding checklist that starts by itself: check-ins and first tasks are set up when someone asks. Only an owner of the company's GATE account can invite a new hire. GATE's agent takes the constant small questions, but it does not replace the colleagues who teach the job itself.

How do we start onboarding new hires with GATE?

GATE is invite only while GATE Intelligence onboards a small number of businesses at a time. Once the company is on GATE, an owner invites each new hire from the dashboard or by asking the agent in the chat, and chooses whether they work with the agents the company already has or get one of their own. The signup link in the invite email does not expire.
